Diemersdal Pinotage 2024
$ 7.66
Description This Diemersdal Pinotage shows a complex nose of red fruits, vanilla, exotic spices, and rich dark chocolate aromas. The palate is full flavoured and smoothly textured with oriental spice, chocolate and roasted banana flavours. Our Pinotage is ready to drink, but will also benefit from another 5 years’ cellaring. Oenology: The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness. Fermentation in open-fermenters for 5-7 days at 26ºC to 28ºC. Punch through every 4 hours pressed at 5º Balling. 100% MLF completed spontaneously in tanks before the wine was transferred for ageing on alternative French oak. Maturation: 14 months on French oak staves. Food suggestions: Lamb-knuckle or oxtail stew with sun-dried tomatoes. DOWNLOAD TASTING NOTE
